Anyone NOT own a scale?

The type of scale that you weigh yourself on, not a food scale. I threw mine out long ago. With PCOS, it got to be too frustrating to eat right, exercise, hop on the scale and see that it did not move.

Just curious if anyone else who is banded has gotten rid of their bathroom scale.

I don't have one and have been on the fence about getting a new one. I like the idea of participating in Friday weigh ins etc. BUT for me it's a lot easier to not check the scale I'm afraid it will discourage me too much. so for now I'm just going to judge by the way my clothes fit.

Hi,

Hey, but you HAVE lost the recommended amount of weight. You've lost between 1 -2 pounds per week, and closer to the 2 pounds. Congratulations!! And the best part of it is that those pounds are gone forever!! Keep up the good work.

I don't have a scale either. I prefer to weigh only at my monthly office visits. I find it much less frustrating and accurate.

ME!! ME!! I don't own a scale and don't intend to buy one either. Why torture myself with minimal losses (THANKS PCOS!)?

I want to set myself up for success, not failure. I will weigh in at the doctor office, once a month...and that is plenty. :girl_hug:

GOOD LUCK CYSTER!!

I don't have one either. I work in a hospital and My PCP is right upstairs, so every Monday I go weigh on the same scale. I love it...

No, no scale but my partner owns one! lol. Every once in a while he does the weight loss thing and uses the scale, but that's pretty much it.

My surgeon insisted that I get a scale so I did. I decided Friday mornings are my weigh in day.

I don't have one. Whenever I am on a diet, I weigh at work. I'm a teacher, and there's a scale in the office bathroom. It's the kind where you move the little bars, so I feel that it is pretty acurate. I can't handle having one at home.

i find having the scale and weighing everyday helps me too stay in control
